Consciousness ~ Ram Dass

Being conscious is

cutting through

your own melodrama

and being right here.

Exist in no mind,

be empty,

here now,

and trust

that as a situation arises,

out of you will come

what is necessary

to deal with that situation

including the use of your intellect when appropriate.

Your intellect need not be constantly held on to

to keep reassuring you

that you know where you’re at,

out of fear of loss of control.

Ultimately, when you stop identifying so much

with your physical body

and with your psychological entity,

that anxiety starts to disintegrate.

And your start to define yourself

as in flow with the universe;

and whatever comes along ~

death, life joy, sadness ~

is grist for the mill of awakening,

Not this versus that

but

whatever.
